I installed Google Meet on my phone because I need to run an errand but I need to listen in on this meeting.
The app has now asked for access to not only my camera and mic, which are reasonable in a video-chat app, but also location, contacts, and *fitness data*. What the proverbial fuck?

@jamie@zomglol.wtf huh? What wording and OS is that? I just checked the permissions page on Android and it's not required there. Could it be the Bluetooth permission, which makes sense for headsets and such? 🤔

@jamie@zomglol.wtf in case you do pushups during the meeting, it can track it. Yes I’ve been in meetings where someone has done pushups lol
